Crust: I used the same easy pizza dough recipe that I used for my cheesy flatbread on Monday. Except I swapped out the cheddar and replaced it for monterey jack cheese. You could use any pizza or flatbread dough recipe for this flatbread but the added cheese is clearly a bonus. I chose to cut it into 3 parts so I had three individual flatbreads. They were large, so feel free to make them smaller. This recipe could easily serve 3-5 depending on how hungry you are and what else you’re serving. If you’re in a hurry or really want to come strong with the enchilada theme, a tortilla would be awesome as a crust here. If you go that route, you might need to reduce your baking time a bit as you won’t need to cook the dough — but you’ll want it nice and crispy.

Sauce: For this flatbread, I used my creamy enchilada sauce (not to beat a dead horse, but if you’re planning to use plain enchilada sauce you’re missing out — because this one has cheeeeeese). Not only does cheese taste delicious, but it is a terrific source of protein. If you need more convincing that you should put cheese in your enchilada sauce (umm…really, I hope this is a no brainer!), United Dairy Industry of Michigan has written an “Ode to Cheese.” How can you not love the people behind United Dairy Industry of Michigan after knowing that they wrote an ode to cheese?

Hot Toppings: I kept it simple and used shredded chicken and more monterey jack cheese. That way all the flavors could really shine through and the people I was serving (my family) could customize their flatbread with the variety of garnishes I offered.

Garnishes/Additional Cold Toppings: This is the fun part! The options are nearly endless. I kept things fairly simple with fresh cilantro and tomatoes but there are so many other things that would be great on this flatbread: green onions, jalapeño, sour cream, or chopped avocado. That’s why having three individual flatbreads was so perfect — each person could create their perfect chicken enchilada flatbread.

The other great thing about making this into three smaller flatbreads rather than one large one is that they will stay nice and crispy. Sometimes with one large flatbread or pizza, the center tends to remain a bit soft, or even soggy. Cutting the dough into smaller pieces and making small flatbreads will decrease the chances of you ending up with soggy dough.
